Understanding Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Enhancing Vehicle Stability and Braking Efficiency When a vehicle is braked, the load on the front axle increases while the rear axle is relieved of load (dynamic axle load shift). This is due to the inertia of the vehicle body. The resultant torque about the vehicle's transverse axis increases the load on the front axle. In practice this effect can be observed in the dipping of the vehicle body at the front axle during a braking manoeuvre (brake dive). Due to the increase in front axle load, the maximum amount of brake
